Is it possible to use two rtl sdr (as a two channel receiver) and compute the correlation spectrum for phase noise measurement?

Hello Daniel,

Today the answer is no.
Maybe someone else would be interested to add this functionality.
It would be necessary to run the units from a common clock
and the separation between phase noise and amplitude noise
might break down at a frequency separation corresponding to the
time shift between the channels.
